Route.

I shall split the trip into two very approximate parts. Firstly I shall leave Oxford and follow Eurovelo 2 (http://www.eurovelo.com/en/eurovelos/eurovelo-2) as far as Warsaw. Then north, pick up Eurovelo 11 (http://www.eurovelo.com/en/eurovelos/eurovelo-11) to the Latvian border with Russia. Then east to Moscow, south east to Kazakhstan. After Kazakhstan I will cross into Kyrgyzstan, ride around Issyk Kul and cross the Irkeshtam Pass to China. Then I will ride either the North Silk Road, the South Silk Road or through Tibet and on to the Border with Laos. This, however is where things become vague as it depends on what visa and for how long I receive for China. I suspect I may only get 30 days which will result in the very real possibility of me having to get a train at some point. If so I will cross to Vietnam. I then plan to winter in South East Asia, hopefully taking my bike into Burma, before deciding where to fly from in East Asia and where to in North America. Somewhere on the west coast for sure, but money and time of year will dictate. The earlier the year, the more southern the destination. And this is the very vague part two of the trip. If it is early in the year then I hope to cross the southern states of the US and head up to New York for a flight back to Europe. If it is later in the year then a flight to Vancouver will be the plan, before heading across Canada, into the US and again flying from New York. But this is all very vague, and very, very distant. I will see.
